"The child just now seemed to be Emily?"
Lao Wang immediately turned around and said to the female white-collar worker: "I saw a doll in her arms. I don't know if it was a doll, but she was holding something in her arms anyway!"
The female white-collar worker raised her eyebrows: "Then he disappeared all of a sudden?"
Lao Wang: "..."
Yes, he probably didn't look at her for more than two seconds. Before he could react, the child was gone. He could remember the other person's appearance because of his strong observation skills.
It was a little girl with two braids and blue eyes. She looked about seven or eight years old.
Because business was irritating her nerves, the female white-collar worker temporarily gave up on the scent of gourmet food on her nose.
However, the two of them searched for a long time at the meal window, but could not find a door to enter the back kitchen. There were only two doors in the entire canteen, the front door and the back door.
The view of the back kitchen from the window is also limited, and there is no way to see where the door inside is located.
"Is it outside?" The female white-collar worker frowned.
"Let's go out and take a look." Lao Wang thought for a moment and said, "You stay in the cafeteria, and I'll go out and find where the kitchen door is, so that the kid doesn't come back to eat after we leave."
"OK."
The female white-collar worker nodded, walked back and forth at the meal window, leaned forward and looked through the transparent window panel towards the kitchen.
However, after a while, she turned around and saw Lao Wang still wandering around the cafeteria.
She asked doubtfully: "Why don't you go out?"
Lao Wang scratched his head in confusion: "No, I want to go out too, but I can't find the door to the canteen?"
Female white-collar worker: "???"
She glanced at the open door not far away with a puzzled look on her face, and walked over and said, "Isn't the damn door standing right here? You can tell me that you can't find something you can see at a glance?!"
The female white-collar worker walked straight towards the door, but the next moment, she suddenly paused.
She stared blankly ahead: "I did walk towards the door just now, right? Where is the door now?"
Lao Wang looked at her: "On your left."
The female white-collar worker looked sideways and saw that the door was on the left, and her current location was completely different from the direction she walked in the first place. She didn't even understand how she got here!
"Fuck!"
The female white-collar worker quickly rushed to the door again, but as soon as she took a breath, she realized that she had deviated from her position again!
More importantly, she clearly felt that she was heading towards the door!
"This isn't right!"
"This is really not right."
"Did you just see me walking towards the door?"
"No, you walked to the side."
"..." Female white-collar worker.
She thought she had been displaced, but it turned out that she had been running in the wrong direction from the beginning?
Wait, Lao Wang seems to be able to clearly see that she ran in the wrong direction.
Thinking of this, the female white-collar worker said again: "Old Wang, you come and direct me to the door."
Lao Wang obviously thought of this and said directly: "Okay, take three steps forward, and walk in a straight line with your toes at each step."
The female white-collar worker walked forward.
"Turn right, seventeen steps."
"..."
"Turn left and go straight until you are at the back door."
"you sure?"
The female white-collar worker stopped suddenly, turned around with a confused face and said, "There's a fucking wall in front of you and you let me go? And you gave me the wrong direction from the beginning!"
Lao Wang: "..."
Lao Wang looked intently and saw that there was indeed a wall in front of the female white-collar worker, so he also fell into deep thought.
It seems that the way of giving directions to others doesn’t work either.
Generally speaking, it seems that as long as you have a goal, you will definitely go in the wrong direction!
Lao Wang sat on the bench tiredly, rubbed his brows and said: "We can see the location and act independently, but we always end up in the wrong place. This is probably because our spatial cognitive ability is imbalanced. That is In layman’s terms, we’re lost!”
The two of them got lost in the cafeteria with an unobstructed view!
Who would believe such a thing!
The female white-collar worker also sat down on a chair, thinking calmly.
She said thoughtfully: "You just said that there are many overlapping spaces here, so is it possible that our brains are affected by these multiple spaces?"
Lao Wang agreed: "What you said is not unreasonable. On the other hand, our eyes may have received wrong information."
The female white-collar worker heard this and asked tentatively: "Then let's go with our eyes closed?"
"Maybe it works, but have you ever thought about it..." Lao Wang said with a deep look on his face: "If getting lost is our own fault and has nothing to do with the cafeteria, then we will still be lost after we go out, and it is impossible to stay lost forever. Close your eyes."
"..."
The world outside the cafeteria is bigger and more dangerous. If they continue to feel the way with their eyes closed after going out, they will really be impatient to live.
But if they continue to bring the lost debuff, they may get lost and end up in the monster's mouth.
So compared to the canteen, it's still a safe spot, but they can't stay here forever and waste time. In short, the current situation is very helpless.
Suddenly, the female white-collar worker said: "The visiting manual didn't say that people would get lost in the cafeteria, nor did it say that children who stole food would hide here, nor did it say...
“What to do when you meet a child.
"Based on the above anomalies, what we need to do now should be to follow the 19th rule of the "Qiming Shantang Visiting Manual": If anything happens that does not exist in the visiting manual, you should enter the office and take shelter.
"Right, Lao Wang."
Lao Wang took over what she said: "I know, the existence of rule 19 means that the rules in the orphanage will change."
There will be any changes beyond the investigators’ expectations!
Just like their current situation.
As for what to do after an abnormal situation occurs, apart from hiding in the dean's office, another unexplained solution is probably to let them play freely.
The female white-collar worker looked at Lao Wang, who was sitting not far away: "Are you confident?"
Lao Wang wiped his face and raised his head, his eyes shining with determination: "Yes! My master once said that one way to break the illusion is to rely on the guidance of the soul. The second is to smash the illusion with one punch! 1. Defeat all laws!"
The female white-collar worker raised her eyebrows upon hearing this: "I don't think Marcia still has such courage, so you should take action now."
Since there are multiple overlapping phase spaces here, and since what affects their cognitive judgment may be the spatial overlapping effect, then they should just break these spaces!

…
Qiming Building, third floor.
director's office.
The female social worker was searching for clues in the office. Suddenly, she heard an explosion from outside the corridor, but then there was no movement.
She listened for a long time, and after confirming that there was no danger on her side, she continued to do what she was doing.
Just now, the female social worker had discovered that the printer on the desktop had been used, and there were several pieces of paper inside, which meant that some information should have been printed out.
She couldn't turn on the computer, so she could only try to start the printer and let it repeat the previous work.
In this way, maybe she can know what it just printed.
But just after she finished studying the program, two more explosions suddenly came from outside!
The female social worker suddenly stopped what she was doing, frowned slightly and looked at the door. After waiting vigilantly for a while, she confirmed again that there was no danger.
"Are you deliberately triggering Rule 15?"
Thinking of the three explosions she just heard, the female social worker was thoughtful, but she didn't take it to heart.
Because it's none of her business.
[Congratulations on completing side task 2: The swing in the yard. 】
Suddenly, another system prompt sounded.
The female social worker paused, and then felt that the problem was still not big, and it still had nothing to do with her. On the contrary, she should speed up and complete her tasks.
She continued to stretch her finger to the printer's reset button. If she succeeded, she would immediately know the information just printed, and those things were probably the mission target!
at this time--
"boom!"
Another sound outside.
The nervous female social worker's fingers were frightened and she did not press down.
She composed herself and planned to continue...
"Boom!" - "Boom!" - "Boom!" -
But then, every ten seconds or so, there was an explosion in the corridor outside.
Female social worker: “…”
The female social worker listened to the explosive rhythm like music, with a dumb face and speechless.
But since the office has not been affected in any way after so many bombings, then this place should be considered safe. She should try her best to get things done before the dean comes back.
The female social worker took a breath, comforted herself and ignored the movement outside, and put her finger on the "Reset" button again.
at this time--
"Click..."
The female social worker's body suddenly stiffened. She turned around blankly and saw a gap slowly opening in the air in a corner behind her.
Like a broken glass mirror, the cracks spread like scattered spider webs.
This space... is cracked!
